I want to add a star on a gif. I have opened the gif. According to
the OOo Help:
"Click an icon on the Stars and Banners toolbar, and then drag in
the document to draw the shape."
How do you do this? If I right click and hold down on a star icon
and move the pointer to the point I would like to put the star
nothing happens. If I double click on the star, when the pointer
moves on the gif it becomes a + and moves the gif if I click and
hold. Help, please.
Are you doing this in a text (Writer) document or a drawing (Draw)
one? You don't say which.
A bit of experimentation suggests that to achieve what you want in
Draw, it is necessary that the existing image should *not* be
selected before you charge the cursor, as it were, with star-drawing
ability. If the image shows the eight green handles, click outside
it first to deselect it before going to the star symbol in the toolbar.
Writer behaves differently and does not show this problem.
At least, that's how it works in my 3.1.0 under Windows XP.
I trust this helps.
